Like a Turner portrait,
wild trees cut the soft sky
in aggressive rebellion.
The fields are aglow in the
impossible, perfect sunlight
painters only hope for,
or plagiarize.
In the middle of all of this
a green and white farm sits,
cozy and quaint, unassuming
over the twilight
shadows.
Soybean plants stretch far,
some frenzy of
golden fire.
They are glowing bright now
in the setting sun.
It is almost too perfect for a
photograph, there is a
humid mist rising from the
torrid August rains.
Everywhere, there is this
impossible sparkle, gossamer,
and I think perhaps it is all
too lovely to be real.

One Art, to recognize, must be,
Another Art to Praise.
